Philippians 3:9, “And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.”
There is not a more satanic false religion than Seventh-day Adventism (SDA). Their
literature writers are clever, slick, cunning, and deceptive as the Devil
himself. Let me prove it to you from their own words.
I have a Seventh-day Adventist book in front of me titled, “Christ's Object lessons.” In the chapter titled, “Without A Wedding Garment,” based upon the parable from Matthew 22:1-14, we read on page 134 the satanic lie that a person gets to Heaven by “HIS DEEDS.” (And please notice that this is exactly the same demonic heresy that Calvinists are teaching, like Evangelist Paul Washer)...
“It is while men are still dwelling upon the earth that the work of investigative judgment takes place in the courts of heaven. The lives of all His professed followers pass in review before God. All are examined according to the record of the books of heaven, and according TO HIS DEEDS the destiny of each is forever fixed. By the wedding garment in the parable is represented the pure, spotless character which Christ's true followers will possess. To the church it is given 'that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white.' 'not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing.' Eph. 5:27. The fine linen, says the Scripture, 'is the righteousness of saints.' Rev. 19:8. It is the righteousness of Christ, His own unblemished character, that through faith is imparted to all who receive Him as their personal Saviour.” [emphasis added]

Did you discern what is very wrong with what you just read? It should be obvious to many of you. The writer of the preceding information is attributing the believer's righteousness for salvation to the fruit of the Spirit, instead of Jesus' precious blood shed for our sins on the cross! Read the preceding paragraph again, and you'll see that the writer is claiming once you trust Christ, then Christ's righteous CHARACTER is formed in you, and without that CHARACTER, you won't be allowed into Heaven. In other words, according to SDA's if you don't become a follower of Jesus in addition to becoming a child of God, you won't go to Heaven. They are claiming that if you are saved, then you WILL live for Jesus, and if you don't you're not saved. This is works for salvation.
Ladies and gentleman, this is exactly what knucklehead Paul Washer teaches...
“And so how do you know you are saved? ... Paul says, 'I'll tell you what's the evidence of whether or not you are saved' ... 'Are you a new creature? Has God changed you from the inside out?' You see, Salvation is not: 'I have made my decision.' Salvation is, God literally (this is not poetry), God literally does a supernatural recreating work in a Christian, takes out his God-hating heart—a heart that doesn't care about God, that doesn't care about His Word, that doesn't care about prayer, that doesn't care about seeking Him, that doesn't care about walking with Him, that doesn't care about keeping His commandments—and puts in the place of that wicked, defiled, heart; a new heart, recreated in the image of God, and true righteousness and true holiness, a new heart that desires God and wants to please Him, and know Him and seek Him. ... an entirely new creature!” [emphasis added]
SOURCE: Evangelist Paul Washer; YouTube sermon titled: How Do I Know If I'm Saved?
What a theological liar! Salvation is a decision—a decision to trust Christ's sacrificial DEATH on the cross as payment for your sins, believing that He was BURIED and RESURRECTED three days later. This is “THE GOSPEL” as defined in 1st Corinthians 15:1-6. How else can you be saved if you don't make a decision to get saved? Salvation is a supernatural miracle of God in response to a man's faith in the Gospel. That requires a decision! So salvation is: I have made my decision! I have made my decision to place my confidence in the Good News of Jesus Christ crucified, buried and risen for my sins!!!
And so, Paul Washer is saying that if you don't have the CHARACTER of Jesus Christ after being saved for a length of time, you are not really saved. I'm just going by his own words. Mr. Washer teaches the same heresy as the SDA's, that a changed life is mandatory to be saved. Please read again the teachings of Seventh-day Adventism and Paul Washer, compare what they teach, and see if what I am saying is not the truth! I am not saying that Mr. Washer is a Seventh-day Adventist. Clearly he is not. My point is that all false religions share the same common denominator, that is, they claim behavior modification is required to be saved. Dr. Bob Jones Sr. used to rightly say that there are only two religions in the world: LIVE and DO, or DO and LIVE. I suppose in view of the preceding heresy by SDA's and Paul Washer, we could say they are teaching LIVE, DO and LIVE, which effectively is still DO and LIVE. Either way, works are required to be saved, they say.
Biblically, we LIVE (are saved) by faith alone in Christ, and then the Holy Spirit changes us. If we obey the Lord as His child, and yield to His indwelling Holy Spirit in us, then we will walk in that Spirit. But we have A CHOICE, just as we chose to receive the free gift of eternal life. Following Christ as His disciple is a second choice that God wants us to make, as His child, already saved (Romans 12:1). The teaching that a believer who does not DO is not saved (i.e., has never been alive in Christ) is of the Devil. This is what SDA's and Paul Washer are teaching. They are adding and requiring discipleship for salvation, which is totally unbiblical.
Christ's Redemption
Some time ago an evangelist traveling was singing to himself the song, ”I'm Redeemed.” A fellow passenger, hearing, joined him in the song. After singing, the evangelist put the question to the stranger, ”Have you been redeemed?” ”Yes, praise the Lord,” was the answer. ”May I ask how long ago?” ”Nearly 2,000 years ago.” The astonished evangelist echoed in surprise, ”2,000 years ago?” ”Yes, Sir,” said his fellow passenger, ”but I'm sorry to say it's not much more than a year that I have known it.” So many people for whom Christ died are still unaware that the great redemptive act of our Lord was for them.
My friend, Satan is a beautiful liar. SDA's are known for singing beautiful hymns, excellent schools and their emphasis on good health. This good natured atmosphere attracts a lot of sincere people, who become victims of the Devil. SDA is an Illuminati, endtimes, New World Order, false religion. Instead of relying solely upon God's imputed righteousness, which is through faith alone in Jesus Christ, they rely upon their personal righteous character, which they claim faith in Christ produces in them. Effectively, this is mere self-righteousness. Romans 10:3-4, “For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” SDA's are going about to ESTABLISH THEIR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS!!!
And sadly, so also is John MacArthur, Ray Comfort, Chip Ingram, Paul Washer and other hellbound Calvinists!
And may I say confidently, there is no such
Biblical doctrine as “investigative
judgment.” This is a doctrine of devils exclusive to seventh-day
Adventism. It basically claims that in the year 1844, Jesus entered into the
Holy Place in Heaven, to begin His work of investigating each believer on
earth, to determine whether we are worthy or not for Heaven. Folks, that is
salvation by works, but by faith as the Bible teaches! You see, your best
works are filth to God (Isaiah 64:6). Even one sin is enough to keep you out
of Heaven (James 2:10; Revelation 21:27). Therefore, you desperately need a
perfect Savior, someone Who can pay your debt of sin. My friend, Jesus has
done that FOR YOU and me, and everyone! Jesus paid a debt He did not owe,
because we owed a debt we could not pay! JESUS PAID IT ALL!!! So the very
suggestion that the manner in which you live has something to do with going
to Heaven is satanic! Jesus paid it all, because YOU COULDN'T, and neither
could I, nor anyone else! Only Jesus is the sinless Lamb of God!!!
You Don't Have To Repent of Sin to Be Saved, You Must Be 100% Sinless to Go to Heaven
Please read this blatant satanic heresy preached by false prophet Paul Washer:
“No, no, if you don't have works, you're going to Hell!”
SOURCE: Paul Washer; Paul Brainwasher: "If You Don't Have Works, You Are Going To Hell"
More Self-Incrimination Damnable Evidence By Paul Washer
Evangelist Paul Washer is one of the most dangerous false teachers behind America's pulpits! Beware of the Devil's lie of Calvinism, which is not the Gospel of free grace!!! The true Gospel only focuses on CHRIST, but a false gospel focuses on YOU! Run away from any corrupt preacher (or bad Bible college like Bob Jones University) who teach that YOU must repent of YOUR sin to be saved. No such thing is taught in the King James Bible!!! The Bible says that all of our righteousness is as “filthy rags” to God (Isaiah 64:6). The truth is that no man has ever turned away from his sins (Ecclesiastes 7:20). Dear reader, you don't have to repent of your sinning to get to Heaven, you must be totally 100% perfect and sinless. Obviously that is IMPOSSIBLE, which even Christ said Himself (Matthew 19:25-26).
That is why God sent His only begotten Son into the world, to pay our debt of sin for us (2nd Corinthians 5:21). Hence, we are saved by “GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS,” through faith alone in Jesus Christ (Philippians 3:9; Romans 10:3-4). That is not what Paul Washer is preaching! Look at this nightmarish garbage that Evangelist Rap Comfort preaches! Folks, the Bible is abundantly clear that there is only ONE GOSPEL (Galatians 1:6-9). 1st Corinthians 15:1-4 defines that Gospel of Christ's death on the cross for our sins, His burial, and miraculous bodily resurrection three days later for our justification (i.e., our faith in Him is not in vain). What an awesome Savior!!!
I don't care how rotten in character, sinful in behavior or contemptible in reputation you may dear friend, if you're resting in Christ's death on the cross for your sins, His burial and physical resurrection as your only hope for Heaven, you are 100% WASHED of your sins and legally DECLARED RIGHTEOUS in God's sight (Hebrews 4:10-11; 1st Corinthians 6:9-11; Romans 5:6-9). Every believer falls IN GRACE, never FROM GRACE (Romans 5:20). The only one's who fall FROM GRACE are those self-righteous heretics like Marty Herron, Steve Pettit, Paul Washer, Sam Horn, Charles Phelps, John MacArthur, John Piper, Adrian Rodgers, Ray Comfort and other Calvinists who ADD works to faith (Galatians 5:4). Adding even the slightest thing to faith alone negates salvation and prevents the new birth. The Devil's greatest weapon has always been to con people into living the Christian life without ever being born-again.
If you follow Paul Washer or Seventh-day Adventists, you WILL go to Hell when you die forever, because you don't get saved by the life you live, nor does your deeds (works) have any part in saving or proving that you are saved.
On page 180, the SDA book I have exposed says that the parable of the Ten Virgins is about the same self-righteousness...
The class represented by the foolish virgins... They have not fallen upon the Rock, Christ Jesus, and permitted their old nature to be broken up.

What
a lie! The foolish virgins weren't left behind because their old nature
hadn't yet changed. No, they were foolish virgins because they didn't have
any oil, and that oil symbolizes the indwelling Holy Spirit. That is, they
weren't saved at all. They were religious folks, similar to Seventh-day
Adventists. They came to the wedding. They were sincere. They meant well
like the religious group in Matthew 7:21-23, but they didn't have any oil,
because they had never been born-again! Luke 13:23-24, “Then said one
unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, Strive
to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you,
will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.” The Holy Bible
warns everyone repeatedly that Satan has blinded the minds of unbelievers
(2nd Corinthians 4:3-4), to hinder them from seeing the clarity and
simplicity of the Gospel (2nd Corinthians 11:3-4), lest seeing the Good
News of Christ crucified on the cross, buried and bodily risen the third
day, they might be saved by faith alone! The choice is yours alone to
make!!!
